Your Opinions Please

Hi All,

I am sitting here viewing online videos on body work and painting. I have my Eastwood Catalog here and there are so many choices. What do you all recommend for:

body filler, brand, type?
filler or solder?
to pull dents, drill or weld studs?
type of primer?
what to look for with hammers and dollies?
chemicals and mechanical or sandblasting?
Rust converter?
Rust dissolver?
Rust sealers?
What size sandblasting machine? Any tips?
What brand of paint?
What about adding pearl or flakes?
What tools are a must have for sanding?

I know this is a long list but I really could use professional advice. You are all experienced in this so your opinions matter.
